FEES
Details of the fees for each course can be found in the course listings. A registration fee of £35 is charged for all enrolments that require an interview (please see courses marked.)
Please note: If you are a student from outside the EU, you may be asked to pay fees at a higher rate than those quoted in the prospectus.
PAYMENT BY INSTALMENTS
For course fees which exceed £250, you may be entitled to pay by instalments. Fees will be divided into two equal instalments with the first payable immediately at enrolment and the balance due half way through the first term of the course. All instalment plans will be subject to a £10 administration fee with the exception of those students on courses marked
CREDIT/DEBIT CARD FACILITY
Mastercard, Visa, Delta, Solo and Maestro can be used for enrolments. We do not accept American Express or Diners™ Club.
CONCESSIONS & REDUCED FEES
There are concessions of 15% applying to senior citizens over the age of 62 or 20% for those on state means-tested benefits. Only courses costing over £90 are eligible for concessions.
Please note: Concessions are not available on evening or weekend courses. Funds are available from The Dame Henrietta Barnett Fund or from the Student Bursary Scheme to help Institute students in financial need. The Trustees will consider requests to help with course fees, books etc. Please write outlining your request to the Principal.
EXAMINATION COURSES
Please note: Exam fees (where applicable) are not included in the enrolment fee.
TEXT BOOKS, ART MATERIALS, PHOTOCOPYING, COOKERY INGREDIENTS, SPORTS EQUIPMENT ETC.
Students are expected to provide their own text books, art materials, food ingredients etc and pay a small charge for photocopied course notes where these are issued extensively.
TRANSFERS
If you wish to transfer, you may be able to do so subject to availability and the permission of the class teacher. If a transfer is arranged, the fee that has been paid can be used towards the cost of other courses in the current year. Where a transfer is made to a less expensive course, we cannot refund any difference in the fees. Any balance or credit could, however, be used towards the cost of enrolment on other courses in the 2011/12 programme. If a credit note is issued for future use, a £20 administrative charge will be made. Please note: Once a credit or refund is issued, the student no longer has priority enrolment in the class for any future term.
REFUND OF FEES
FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE
unless a class is closed within 3 weeks of the beginning of term due to insufficient enrolments or for reasons beyond our control when a pro-rata refund will be given. Please note: If, due to circumstances beyond our control, a teacher leaves part of the way through a course and a suitable replacement is found, the course will continue and refunds will not be given.
REFUNDS ARE NOT GIVEN FOR ANY CHANGE IN YOUR CHOICE OR CIRCUMSTANCES.
ADMISSION
ADMISSION TO CLASSES & COURSE ALTERATIONS
We reserve the right to refuse admission, change the teacher or venue, or, where there are insufficient enrolments, to close a course or alter the course length. Other than with the agreement of the Principal, students will not be admitted to classes without payment of the fee. Pupils still at secondary school will not normally be admitted to evening classes unless they are 16 years old before 1st September 2011.
